Have An Interest In Pirates? You Won't Want To Miss This FREE Presentation In Springfield!

Springfield Historical Society To Present Program On Marcus Hook Artifacts
    Springfield Historical Society will present a free slide program and talk by Mike Manerchia 7:30 p.m. Tues. (March 15) at the    Springfield Township Building, 50 Powell Rd.
   Manerchia purchased a house in Marcus Hook, which had been in his wife's family for 100 years.  While renovating the house, he began finding a treasure of artifacts.  Archaeologists and historians determined that the house was a "1680 plank log cabin,”  which is an historical 'gold mine'.
    Blackbeard, the pirate, was a known visitor to the Port of Marcus Hook in the 1700's and used to visit his mistress, Margaret, who lived in this house.
 Refreshments will be served following the program.
